Kroupi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Friday's 2-2 draw against Manchester United.
Analysis: Kroupi came off the bench in the 73rd minute of Friday's 2-2 draw against Manchester United, scoring the equalizer from the penalty spot to end his six match run without a goal contribution. The Frenchman continues to impress in his first Premier League season, having recorded nine goals in 26 appearances.
Scores opener in 2-0 win
Junior Kroupi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Junior Kroupi scored his eighth goal of the Premier League season and his third in the last five Premier League games. He took two shots in the game and also created a chance, making it four games in the last five where he has created a chance. This was the sixth Premier League game this season that he has taken two shots.
Scores in Wednesday's win
Eli Kroupi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Kroupi scored another goal Wednesday, a close-range strike in the 36th minute assisted by Marcos Senesi. It marked his seventh goal of the season, three of which have come in his last five appearances. Kroupi has been very productive this season despite his inconsistent playing time, averaging one goal for every 82 minutes he's played this season.
Scores stunning goal
Eli Kroupi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 loss versus Arsenal. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 80th minute.
Analysis: The forward made an immediate impact off the bench, with his powerful and well-placed long shot beating David Raya to create some late drama. Kroupi might be called on off the bench again given his effort and he's got a decent matchup against Tottenham. Spurs have allowed 23 goals in 19 matches and have been volatile in their form.
Scores off the bench
Eli Kroupi scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Monday's 4-4 draw against Manchester United.
Analysis: Kroupi came off the bench in Monday's match against Manchester United and scored the equalizer with a composed finish after entering in the 78th minute. The Frenchman had earned several starts during Evanilson's calf injury but has since returned to a reserve role following his teammate's comeback, with his long-term role still to be defined. For now, he is mainly used as an impact substitute, having started five of his 12 Premier League appearances this season while scoring five goals.
Offside goal in loss to City
Kroupi recorded two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City.
Analysis: Kroupi had a goal ruled offside Sunday inside the opening minute, and forced a save from the keeper just after half-time with his only shot on target. Outside of that his impact was limited, making just 13 touches and five completed passes. The 19-year-old's impressive EPL debut season has seen him find the net three times in the Cherries last two matches, which earned him this game's starting striker spot over a fit Evanilson. It's unclear whether he will remain a starter going forward, but he will make frequent appearances and inevitably build on his current tally of four goals.
Fourth goal in three matches
Kroupi scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Kroupi sealed the result for AFC Bournemouth Sunday with a superb strike from around 25 yards, giving him his fourth goal of the season and marking his third consecutive match finding the net. He also had another attempt blocked and was subbed after 69 minutes. The young striker has been getting starts while Evanilson recovers from a calf injury. The Brazilian is expected back imminently when Kroupi will likely be relegated back to the bench, but his sensational form will put pressure on the regular starter to maintain his spot.
Bags two in first EPL start
Kroupi scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Kroupi got his first EPL start Saturday replacing the injured Evanilson as the Cherries lead striker. He delivered a standout performance, bagging a brace of goals before half‑time. The 19-year-old is in sharp form, he scored twice for the French U21 team last week and found the net in his last Cherries appearance at the end of September. It is unlikely he will replace Evanilson as a regular starter but will likely join matches frequently from the bench with impactful outcomes.
First EPL goal from bench
Kroupi scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Leeds United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Kroupi came off the bench Saturday after 81 minutes and made an instant impact by scoring his first EPL goal, a clinical stoppage-time volley from a Marcos Senesi flick that rescued Bournemouth a point. This was his third appearance of the season, all from the bench, but today's strike could mark a turning point that earns him some starts.
First Bournemouth start
Kroupi started and played 65 minutes during Tuesday's Carabao Cup match against Brentford.
Analysis: Kroupi made his first Bournemouth start in the Carabao Cup, playing 65 minutes before being brought off in a quiet performance. He failed to really accomplish much, and struggled with the physicality of the match. Kroupi is still young with plenty of potential to grow, but isn't likely to play a major role for Bournemouth during his first season with the club.
